Sheepdogs: the Brilliant Relationship of Man and Dog

Dogs have been a part of our lives for millennia and our relationship with them even predates settled agriculture. As we have grown to become companions, their presence has had a deep impact on the way we live our lives.

The art of the sheepdog…

To find out, we take you to Kerry, Ireland to watch a masterful farmer and his remarkable dogs expertly work together. I first saw this video from another cool channel, Bob Hinson, a few months ago, and since, I have found myself thinking about it whenever I reflect on the beauty of our working bond with dogs…

Herding from a new perspective…

I have watched this video several times now and always find myself transfixed!

I’ll leave you with one more unique view of the world of the sheepdog. If you aren’t prone to motion sickness, here’s what happens when you combine a GoPro with the skills we have been celebrating, as brought to us by Voteforbear!

Seeing connection in our world…

Since seeing this collection of videos, I have seen a shift in my relationship with my own dog. I appreciate far more the unique connection I have with her. And sure, she is nowhere near as well trained as the dogs in today’s videos, but now I look into her curious eyes and recognize the importance of our shared evolutionary bonds.
